Inspiration Yoga Workshops & Holidays with Davy & Janaki
Inspiration yoga offers yoga workshops and yoga holidays in the UK, France, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Europe and occasionally even further afield!
We select beautiful places and provide Inspiring yoga classes. We have run yoga holidays every year since 2003 including in Sinai, Crete, Turkey, France, Spain, India and Italy.
We have found that the most important things for a successful yoga holiday are:
• That it is a holiday. Yoga “retreats” are fine too, but we run holidays where people enjoy themselves and have fun
• Accessible but challenging yoga classes that everybody can enjoy whatever their level of experience
• Lovely locations with special interesting and welcoming hosts to make everyone feel at home
• Wonderful food that is plentiful, nutritious and healthy (and wine too!)
• A good beach or swimming pool for people to chill out, read a book or take a nap
We make sure all our yoga holidays tick all those boxes! And if we find somewhere that is really special we try to go back again and again as we have done with La Roane in France.

"This was an absolutely marvellous week at La Roane and will go down as one of the best ever yoga holidays I have been on (and I have been on quite a few!!) with the nicest bunch of people. The whole week was an absolute joy - and that talent show, what a talented group you all are, absolutely amazing."
Jilly, Free Spirit Yoga Holidays 2017
"Just to say a huge thank you for the week away at La Roane. It was a wonderful experience. Although at times challenging! I loved both your teaching styles and found them to be very nurturing and encouraging in different ways. I felt at ease throughout the yoga, despite my physical limitations from injury. All the exercises were adapted to a level that could suit me on a very personal level.
I've come home feeling stronger, more mobile, relaxed and raring to go for my next challenge, whatever that may be. I thank you both for making it a truly magical experience."
